- Annotation
- Argues for Brett s performative role as mother-figure and analyzes the oedipal tendencies of the boys who surround her. Drawing on biographical information, Adair concludes that Jake is a projection of Hemingway and that the novel is a response to Hemingway s being kicked out of the family summer home by his mother. Adair concludes: The runaway, wounded boy longed to be a child again, and in the loving-rejecting Lady Brett, he found the mother whom he loved and lost, but never got over.
